        UNANIMOUS-CONSENT AGREEMENT--SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 31

  Mr. DOLE. If there is not, I ask at this time then that the cloture 
vote scheduled for Friday be vitiated, and I 

[[Page S 18229]]
now ask unanimous consent that at 10 a.m. on Friday, December 8, the 
Senate turn to the consideration of Senate Joint Resolution 31, the 
constitutional amendment concerning the flag desecration.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DOLE. I further add that there will not be any votes tomorrow. 
There will be debate tomorrow. Then tomorrow, if we can reach an 
agreement for Monday, there may be two or three amendments to Senate 
Joint Resolution 31.
  If we can agree on the amendments and final passage, then we could do 
that on Tuesday morning. There would be no votes on Monday. If we 
cannot agree, then there will be no votes before 6 o'clock on Monday. 
But I think we can agree. We have had a discussion between the two 
leaders.
  Finally, I would say there are a couple of colloquys that Senator 
Daschle and I were going to enter into, and I think I pretty much 
responded to the one on START. The others I think can be printed in the 
Record at the appropriate point if we initial each.
  Is that satisfactory with the managers?
  I thank the Senators.
  Mr. HELMS addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from North Carolina.
  Mr. HELMS. We have reached the point now this evening that we could 
have reached back in August, but better late than never.
